#i dont actually ship them or anything

[mediumsizedapplecore]

you can argue about how much this actually fits them but i saw "we have history" and "the Incident" and blacked out

“i guess so” was so insane of buck to say. what do you mean you guess so. there was no reason to respond like that. why not just say yeah. YEAH. YOUR ATTENTION. what was the point of i guess so. he looks soooo relieved to have an answer for his feelings but he’s saying i guess so. girl what. what! you’re guessing? you still don’t know for sure? he’s standing in front of you and you still can’t conjure up an emphatic yes? you’re acting in ways so strange your sister is baffled? you don’t even know why your father figure would approve of your relationship? you don’t know what you’re ready for? you don’t know why you lied to your best friend or why you hurt him? you’re just not certain of anything? “i guess so” WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW!!!

I know that Clover's gender is up to interpretation (the devs DID say so themselves) but I still feel weird when people make them exclusively male or female LOL Like it's TECHNICALLY fine??? but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

more in tags as usual because I am a yapper. i am so sorry for having strong opinions about gender and representation. i am usually more fun than this 🥲🥲🥲🥲

Even as someone who very much enjoys Stolitz if they don't also address that Stolas also failed to communicate properly and gave Blitzø almost no reason to believe he wanted a serious relationship before that episode along with them having addressed Blitzø's general distrust in others' feelings leading him to hurt them before they can hurt him *deep inhale* THEN I CAN BE ALL ABOARD THE FIZZBLITZ TRAIN BABYYYY ✨ BRING IT ON THEY WOULD NOT BE HELL'S FIRST THROUPLE

i've been thinking a lot about "take responsibility" as one of the main adage in mouthwashing and how that phrase usually is in the context of sex/pregnancies out of wedlock and honour (of the woman)

rambling below with spoilers and textual sensitive content

neither in the real world or in this story do the men "taking responsibility" tend to give a fuck about the repercussions of their actions on others (in particular the women they have, socially, 'soiled'). (this is a general statement, obviously sex/pregnancies out of wedlock are not an evil act in and of itself.)

jimmy is so fixated on the "responsibility" of "titles" and people "deserving" those titles without having any actual idea of the practicalities, skills, social navigation required to actually successfully fulfill these roles.

in part i think "take responsibility" is harking to his snarky high expectations and projections onto jimmy as a captain - the way he is so quick to turn on jimmy in friendly conversation because of his fragile ego.

i think its in part his ego going "i deserve to be captain i'll show them" and trying to "fix" things while - again - not actually understanding the requirements and responsibilities of the role he is desperately clinging to. like he spends all of his time talking down on others (in particular anya) regarding their roles so he's well aware he's showing his ass. (he also FREQUENTLY ties curly into his spiraling, 'we'll fix this')

there's just a total cognitive dissonance between "responsibility" (title, role) and "accountability" - which is the actual thing he needs to take lol

and my mind keeps turning back to how the 'final straw' was anya disclosing her pregnancy and the main phrase hammered down being "take responsibility" with no meaningful recourse

i also think about how he shoots himself in the end before the cryofreeze process even begins for curly......... which just goes to show that 'saving' curly was not a 'good' or 'heroic' act with any sentiment whatsoever to curly's own will... he didn't even make sure it WORKED first. for all he knew it COULD have been damaged in the crash and he would have just left curly sit there until he dies (probably slowly) of whatever physical complications

Looking back at it, Kacchako is really funny to look back on given everything that's happened. Like I really wished they had more interactions about their motivations and heroism, and even their blunt demeanor and so many more things (also how they feel about Deku but this isn't about him).

This isn't meant to shit on people who ship it in any way, because back then I kinda digged it. Like genuinely thought it was cool and an interesting direction to take...but that was 5 years ago.

At one point, we saw the two of them on a battlefield, ending with Ochako losing but Bakugo having a lot of respect for her. This really could have been expanded a lot more, like them training together or just talking.

How he started calling her by her actual name much earlier than others, how she saw right through his "anger" at Deku being fear, how Ochako also trained to be stronger- there really was potential for something deeper between them beyond acquaintances, romance, or something.

actually kills me every time i start losing my mind over a ship only to find out they have no fans and i can’t binge read incredible fan fictions or metas on them for days on end.

My thoughts,

I feel like the biggest disconnect with all the discourse going around is that, (mainly twitter) users automatically assume that combining two peoples names is 'shipping' when that's really not why.

!EXPLANATION!

If you were looking for content surrounding 2 certain people but only tagged their names separately you would be getting EVERY single post. Posts that could have other people in it, and not be the two you were looking for (if I were to look for posts about Ian and Anthony, I would trust the Ianthony tag more than just looking through their regular tags, because people tag them in a lot of other Smosh related content)(same thing for Damien and Shayne, if I was looking for them as a duo I would look through the Shaymien tag)(it simply sorts posts better)

They don't seem to grasp the fact that tagging 'Damangela' is because that's how the tagging culture works over here, and not because we're 'shipping' them.

I thought it was common practice, everyone understands in the fandom world that when you combine people's names it's at it's CORE, a 'Duo Name' before ANYTHING ELSE.

I'm just going to automatically assume that most people getting their feathers all ruffled, just haven't been in fandoms spaces as much, AND THAT'S OKAY!!!

But please, if you take anything away from this, most people doing a lot of shipping is young people, so keep that in mind.

hii can you please draw applebees/davesol/soldave/honeycrisp... they are my lifefurce....

Heeeeey anon

Sorry that this legit took so long to get to but this one and another actually stumped me a bit! But lets go ahead and talk some Honeycrisp!

It's funny but as I'm starting to go through ships, I actually find that Sollux is surprisingly moldable to ship with in most quadrants with any character with just a few characters that I think it's pretty obvi he'd be one way or another with them. Dave is one that I can actually see these two being an all-around deal. I think it's actually extremely easy to see either of them together in a red, pale, or pitch manner. Personal opinion though, I think I could see them shift from pitch to pale. However, I do understand the idea of them in red! Trying to go down a little bit of the more romantic route, Dave can somehow get Sollux to be pretty talkative when working if he says the right things. Both of them are pretty tall so there is a pretty frequent amount of them coming up behind the other and attempting to use them like an armrest just for the hell of it. Sollux's constant amount of electronic-like noises from his powers is actually fuel and used snippets in some of Dave's music. I see them being somewhat private about affections towards one another mostly because they don't feel like its anybodys business to glimpse into those parts from the outside of their lives. They're really casual about it though.
